Composite Structure
Composite structure possesses superior compressive and tensile strength.
It is formed when two materials are combined to form a
stronger substance than either of the two base materials on their own. The
weaker of the two, called the matrix, binds together with the stronger
material, called the reinforcement - for example, polypropylene, aluminum and
urethane foam filled honeycomb cores and FRP, Polymer or aluminum skins. Ongoing research and development
provides continuous advancements in the performance and design flexibility
of composite materials. The results are visible in the increasing number of
manufacturers using composites in new and emerging industrial applications.
Composite structure possesses dynamic characteristics making it ideally
suited to many specific applications. Composites provide tangible benefits
and innovative solutions to manufacturers and are an efficient, viable
alternative to traditional materials like timber, steel, aluminum and
concrete. Use of composite materials in existing markets and in new and
potential markets is on the increase as manufacturers realize the benefits
of this versatile material.
By careful selection of reinforcement, matrix, and the manufacturing
process, engineers can craft the properties of composite structure materials to meet
specific industry requirements with applications in both low stress and high
performance applications. Composites designed for commercial markets (low
stress applications) such as automotive components, boats hulls and
components, and industrial parts, are engineered from non-continuous fibers.Advanced composite
structure for high stress applications in aircraft manufacturing,
aerospace industry, oil exploration and drilling rigs, and military markets,
utilize high-strength, continuous fibers.
Unique design allows a variety of composite wall thickness, enabling
engineers to develop lightweight, complex shapes and to produce large parts
with dynamic reinforcement structures.
Composite structure applications include:
- Lightweight sheets and boards
- Advertisement or marketing signs
- Large-scale commercial applications
- Slide outs, doors and ramps for recreation vehicles
- Portable mats or interlocking sheets for industrial applications
- Modular or structural flooring systems for automotive or marine
applications
The dynamic nature of composite structure materials allows for diversity in design,
and maximum efficiency and economy in the end product and in product
application.
This technology is precision crafted for
industry and manufacturing in the 21st century. |
